Somebody packaged this narrative for the media before inconveniently finding out that George was Hispanic.
If Trayvon had managed to keep pounding Zimmerman’s head against the sidewalk until he was dead, it wouldn’t have made the news at all (maybe a short item in the local paper). A few local residents might have noticed that some pieces of jewelry were missing.
That's not the only inconvenient finding.
Trayvon started the fistfight. He closed distance with Zimmerman, and sucker punched him. Then was giving him a beat down, including smashing Zimmerman's head into the ground (which might have been pavement). Zimmerman was overwhelmed with force and surprise.
And so, the outcry is "poor poor Trayvon."
I've wondered why it took a couple of weeks for this story to hit the fan.
Very curious indeed.
Indeed. I'm betting the Whitehouse / Media Matters thought they had the perfect script. Being the Whitehouse, they ran with the story before checking. Now the MSM is having to invent a new term "white hispanic" to try and tweak the narrative. Can you imagine the firestorm if Zimmerman was a Tea Party member instead of a Democrat (oops! another Whitehouse blunder).
